Description: This is an original version of the Allied Victory Medal (1914-1919). The Allies each issued their own bronze victory medal but with a similar design, equivalent wording and identical ribbon. The British version depicts the winged figure of Victory on the front of the medal and on the back, it says 'The Great War for Civilisation 1914-1919.’ To qualify, an individual had to have entered a theatre of war (an area of active fighting), not just served overseas. Their service number, rank, name and unit were impressed on the rim.. This one bears the legend 16408 Pte E Fishlock R. Berks. R. (16408 Private E Fishlock, Royal Berkshire Regiment) The colours represent the combined colours of the Allied nations, with the rainbow additionally representing the calm after the storm. The ribbon consists of a double rainbow with red at the centre. Approximately 5.7 million Victory Medals were issued.
